Care guide
Gargoyle Gecko Misting Schedule
Quick answer
Mist once or twice a day, enough to raise humidity into the 50-70% range and leave droplets on leaves and enclosure walls, then let it dry down before the next misting.
- Frequency
- 1-2x daily
- Target
- 50-70% humidity
Why droplets matter
Gargoyle geckos hydrate mainly by licking misted droplets rather than drinking from a dish, so a missed misting session affects hydration directly, not just ambient humidity.
Automating it
A timed mister or fogger can help keep the schedule consistent, especially in dry climates or heated homes, but check actual humidity with a hygrometer rather than assuming the equipment is enough on its own.
